lilac lass, the cuts are made vertically, down the stomach, they remove the back or left side vertical of your present stomach leaving a vertical pouch.

Because it is not a side ways stomach sleeve, *smiling*

Thats quite allot of stuff there, should fill a good portion of any good will box , lol. I'd suggest, just dump most of them,get it over with and feel good about it, kiss the cash good bye and start a-new feeling even better with new stuff but not suffer over loss of those old clothes. Some time I will have a normal sized dresser drawers too. I'm just started losing and willing to hang on to my fatty clothes until I just can not wear them at all. Lot's of luck with the last few. hmmm, or sell ???

congrats, I was glad to be on the post op side too, still am, got home Thursday, every day seems better.

Hi Tiffany Winn, I also was sleeved on Tuesday and came home Thursday. Sorry to hear your having so much troubles, my pain is mostly quieted down now and in control but amazingly I have a little light gas and none diarhia just yet which also can be normal. They seemed to say most pains were in the cuts and not the stomach, I would disagree with that now. Most all my pains were internal but are managable now. If I were you I'd devote a day or two to no motion and sleep as much as I could on my back. I think your body needs some rest, if you have a tempeture or rapid heart rates thats a worry, otherwsie you should get better with the pain I think.

new post here : http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/61738-home-again-post-op/

Was walked into operating room, lied down and hooked up here and there, given drugs and woke up 2 1/2 hours later. It seemed like 5 or 10 minutes went by although I now was in allot of pain. 5 cuts. Sutures were clean and neat and surgicaly glued closed, which for me was a sign it was carefuly done but also do not hurt a bit. Was in pain in my stomach 2 days, now not as much and can move about pretty well already, medicine takes care for that. No hunger, yes, I was not hungry as I sipped my 1 ounce water for 24 hours, not at all. I smelled foods being eaton by hospital employees but did not want to eat them at all, although I can not yet report any strange sensations when trying to drink or eat such as super sweet taste. So, waited over night to be tested, then 24 hours sipping water, then 2 ounce Ensure breakfast and sent home, wa - la ! I am sleeved. Best things I brought, biotine moisture mouth spray ( first day ), baby wipes ( clean up after catheder removed and fresh up ), over sized robe ( for walking halls at hospital ).

Nice to see you here, I have a bunch of cook books on a wish list at Amazon would like a class like that.

Headed out in a couple hours, thanks agin.

Thank you all so much for wishing me well. Right now things are looking good, I like it that the time is so earlyAM and that means I will be awake sooner in the day. I'll post a little once I get back home Wednesday probably, I'll let you know what it is like to me after. babyiwantu, I wish you well for Wednesday the same and all of you when time comes for you too.

Thank you also. I now know I have a 7:30 AM surgery.I needed to wait for the time, just got it a few hours ago.
